1st day of summer break

Today is the first day of summer break.  Josiah is out for the summer!  He was so excited to complete 1st grade, and even more excited to bring home his 2nd grade supply list for next year.  Even more excited then his all A's report card!  We didn't do anything today.  We just stayed home and it was nice.  The boys played outside much of the day, and Mercy even was able to go out and play with Hannah, our neighbor some.  I cleaned a little and did some laundry.  Tomorrow is a day of errands in the morning, and probably more outside play in the afternoon.  It's not too hot yet, so the kids are having a blast!  We have somewhat of a CRAZY busy summer ahead.  I am looking forward to it, but I'm sure I will blink and the end of July will be here. 
 
Some pictures of our day:

Josiah's outstanding report card!

Josiah and I are reading chapter books together this summer.  We started this morning and took turns reading the first chapter.  I think our goal should be to read 3 together over the summer.  We'll see how it goes.  1 chapter down, and 9 more to go in this book.

Josiah also did some artwork in a doodle pad that Aunt Caroline gave him.  It's pretty cool.  The black stratches off, and there is various colors underneith.

I forgot to post this on Mother's Day.  Josiah drew a picture of he and I.  I love our Clemson outfits!

 Outside play
The kids did this completely on their own.  It is a spider web trap.

Here they are trying to trap Hannah, our neighbor.

Fixing the rope...so focused!  I forgot to mention that I love this tree!
